Hey guys, that is a light color Claro walnut, which is what the cabinet makers used on the radios in the 30s,.. The Stratosphere sides were done with Claro, and a lot of Midwest cabinets displayed it , as well.
The lighter the color, the harder the true Claro is to find.

I am referring to the first photo of the veneer on the cabinet.
I am too sure about the Ebay stuff. It has white specs on it, which is not natural to the species.
I used Claro walnut on the 89 cathedral I just listed on Ebay,
which is Rift, but a beautiful veneer.
